Solar Cooking

Today I watched a program on byutv.org about solar cooking. I printed off the free pdf file of the booklet the Wendy DeWitt authored that explained the different cookers and had lots of yummy recipes. See side bar for the link.



This is a Sun Oven.

Sun Oven Description
Helps You Harness the Power of the SunWhether you're dealing with a power outage, or just plain conserving energy, the Sun Oven can cook anything that can be baked in a conventional oven. It lets you harness the power of the sun to cook without fuel.
Lets You Create Your Favorite RecipesWith the Sun Oven you can cook almost anything - breads, cakes, muffins, pizza, vegetables, poultry, fish, meats, casseroles, grains, pasta and desserts, just to name a few.
Provides High Cooking TemperaturesOur Sun Ovens reach temperatures of 360 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which are more than sufficient to bake, boil or steam your favorite foods - wherever you happen to take your Sun Oven.
Makes Foods Taste BetterSun-baked foods stay moister and have less shrinkage than conventional oven-cooked foods. Also, with the Sun Oven there is never any burning or scorching to ruin a meal.
Is Totally SafeBecause of the unique way the Sun Oven operates, there is never a danger of fire.
Is Ruggedly BuiltThe Sun Oven is not a toy. It is a serious appliance that is made for years of trouble-free use. Each Sun Oven is constructed with a strong plastic case that is both durable and easy to clean. It uses Reflexo specular-finish reflectors and a tempered glass door to retain the sun's powerful heat. The Sun Oven features an easily adjustable, self-contained leveling leg to maintain the oven's maximum exposure to the sun, while a built-in Levelator keeps foods level inside the oven to avoid spills.
Is Totally PortableYou can take and use the Sun Oven virtually anywhere there is sunshine. When the oven is closed it is as portable as a small suitcase. It measures just 19'' x 19'' and weighs only 21 pounds. It even has a convenient built-in carry-handle.
Is a Great Hedge Against Power InterruptionsWith a Sun Oven, you will be prepared for any interruption to traditional power sources. You will be able to cook any kind of food as well as boiling water. You can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that as long as there is sunshine, you will have all the power you need to cook your meals.

For the past 14 years, these ovens have been used successfully in 126 countries around the world. Thousands of cooking enthusiasts in the United States and around the world are using them and appreciate the unparalleled features and benefits of using the best manufactured solar cooking device in the world.
Whether you are preparing for emergencies, or you just want to experience the superior taste and nutritional benefits of sun-baked foods, the sun oven will prove to be a wise investment.
